Random thoughts....

Something must be in the air. Yes! That must be what it is. My children have been moody, testy, and just down right naughty!  I will blame it on the air.   Or maybe its cause their daddy is gone on a business trip for a few days. So its lets give mom a hard time week!  So that's it I blame it on their daddy! Thanks babe!  <on a side note thank you for your hard work we love you and appreciate it>

We will survive! That is our theme song this week. Or maybe its just mine.

I often wonder what am I doing? Am I doing a good job with my children?  What can I do to be a better parent?  (advice welcomed)  Or even a better wife!

Now it is 1:20 am and these are just my restless thoughts. I can't sleep as my husband is gone. I am lonely, but I am thankful that I do not have to wait days, or months or even years to see him again.  My heart goes out to all those who have to wait those days, or months or even years to see their loved one again. 

Random thoughts...maybe someday when it isn't so late I will be able to finish this post and make it have a point other then randomness!

AWAKE!

I start my day with AWAKE and I end my day with AWAKE.   What is awake do you ask? It is hands down the best facial cleaner I have ever came across! Leaves my  face feeling nice and clean and oh so soft! Baby butt soft! It works wonders for acne. So do yourself a favor and buy yourself some! Perfect gift for your teenager. No need to spend money on expensive acne medicines, creams or ointments any longer! $39 you can not beat that!

"STEP MOM"

Stepmother, a term that I do not really like to call myself. I consider myself a MOM. A mom to five amazing, fun loving, adventures, sometimes pains in the you know what, but always sweet, generous, children.   I was raised by a mom too who just so happened to not be my biological mother, but she  is my MOM!  She was there for me, provided for me, loved me, did everything for me in her power. Yes did we not see eye to eye at times? Of course. But who doesn't? I am not made from her blood nor did I create stretch marks on her body. But she calls me her oldest daughter and I call her my mom.

A little back round story.... I met the love of my life one September night back in 2011.  I knew from day one that he had three children of his own. And to me that was okay. I never even had second thoughts about his children. To me it was more the merrier! I had a little boy of my own who would be turning three in December.  Long story short we had a little girl together and now we are a big old happy family of seven!    

Is my life busy? Yes! Is my life crazy? Yes!  Do I have daily struggles with my children due to broken promises from birthparents? Damn straight I do. Would I change any of this?  Absolutely not  maybe just a little hiccups here and there. I wish I could take away my children's pain when they are let down and frustrated by their biological parents . But all I can do is reassure them that their father and I love them much and they are special to us.  So  this is my life the life I chose to live when I fell in love with my husband.  I refuse to make my children feel as though we are divided because we are a "blended" family.  I may not have given birth to all my children but I love them all dearly and would do anything for them all.

This journey had not been easy at all, I will be the first to tell you that! But it has been worth it. I am still working on being a mom in general. I went from being a mom to a two year old to five kids and I am not even 27 years old!  So I have a lot of learning to do and a lot of growing that I need to do. I am not the worlds best mother, but I am striving to be a better one.

I guess the whole point of this post is to point out that being a "stepmother" or "stepdad" isn't a bad thing like some people make it out to be. I am glad that my husband embraces my son as his own and has never denied him.  And I am glad I have this opportunity to be a mother to his children. Heaven knows they have been through so much with their birth mother and my son with his birth father. (Expect oldest she lives with her awesome mom and her other dad.) I feel I was sent to my husband for a reason. He prayed one night and three days later we found each other.  

Younique!

As I mentioned earlier I am a presenter for a natural based makeup and skin care line called  Younique! Products we carry are blushes, concealers, bb cream, moisturizers, facial cleansers, brushes. And the biggest seller yet is our Fiber 3d Lashes! They are made from green tea fibers. Proven to increase lashes by 300%.  Best of all is they are affordable!
https://www.youniqueproducts.com/krissandra is where you can find all these amazing products.

I do not claim the eyes above as my own but they are of my amazing sponsor Brandy!  She got me hooked!
I wore eyelash extension for two years, and spent who knows how much money in that two year time frame. I couldn't be happier to have stopped with them. I save a lot of money now! Instead of spending money I'm making money! Its a WIN WIN situation!

 

 

The eyes above me are mine the day I took off my extension! Amazing results with just my little stubby eyelashes!

Younique also has amazing lip glosses which we like to too call Lucrative Lip Glosses. They are so moisturizing and glide on nice and smooth and do not leave a sticky feeling to your lips!

Blushes! Moodstruck Mineral Blushers to be exact! Five to choose from and they are all so difference from each other.  Natural minerals!

We also have our tinted Moisturizer  called BB Flawless .... I have never been a fan of "foundation" but this tinted moisturizer is FABULOUS! Light weight! Easy to apply!   This February we will be adding new colors to the line!

This is just a little of what Younique has to offer. I will be making future posts about more products and fun and exciting things that are happening! Like trips! New product!  

Remember if you want to order anything or just take a look around the website you can find all this fun at www.youniqueproducts.com/krissandra     I  am also ALWAYS looking for fun women or men who love makeup just as much as I do to join my team!  
I will talk more about what joining is all about as well in a future post. ...BUT you work from home! Never have to do house parties unless it is something you want to do! You do not have to carry product nor do you have to deliver it!  WORK FROM HOME! WORK FROM HOME! Best part of all is you GET PAID DAILY!

Here I go again!

Well here I am again after three long years of not blogging! Happy to be back and to share all my crazy adventures with my family , friends, and my businesses.  Everyday is a new adventure when you are a mom of four kids full time!  I will explain just a little more. You see I married a man who had his own kids. Three to be exact. Amazing, fun loving all around good kids. His oldest lives with her mother full time.  I had a little boy of my own to add to the mix! Fast forward a couple years and enters our baby girl together!  So that is how I have five kids, four full time!  I call them all my kids because I don't like the term "step kids". I am making it a goal to never treat them differently just because I didn't give birth to them.  But that is a whole other post on its own!

I am currently part of the fastest growing make up line in the world right now!  Younique!  We are a natural based mineral makeup and skin care line.  I love this business because it allows me to still be a mom and wife and I don't ever have to leave the house.  We use social media to sell our products. www.youniqueproducts.com/krissandra

Then you have Krisschet..... my crochet adventure.  My grandmother taught me how to crochet a little bit while I was younger. I never really tried to do anything more with it until a year ago when I made my oldest a blanket for her birthday.   I figured why not make a shop and spread all this fun!  Krisschet crochet speciality has been pretty successful for me on facebook. Find me on there and join the fun!  www.facebook.com/krisschet

Please excuse the fact that I am not a writer. I just put down what I am thinking and hope it sounds good!  I will try not to bore you too much! But with a husband and kids there is never a dull moment in my life!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back again!
